Spiral Crochet Lapghan Free Pattern....


I am one who loves a new project just as much as the next person who loves to create.
It seem to be what the soul requires, so I oblige. 


This is what they call a Spiral Lapghan to display, wrap across your lap, however, I prefer them for throw rugs as they can be made with a heavier yarn than the worsted the pattern calls for...they are quite charming as simple rugs and easy to care for with a simple beating outside on the line or if you choose to wash it.

SKILL LEVEL IS EASY - FINISHED SIZE 41 inches in diameter. It can be made larger depending on how you want to display yours. I used Bernat Super Value.
PATTERN IS WRITTEN IN U.S. TERMS.
